Rearrange the equation by adding {-c} to both sides to get:
\\[\\simplify{{t} / ({a} * x + {b}) = {d} + { -c} = {d -c}}\\]
This gives \\[\\simplify{({a} * x + {b}) / {t} = 1 / {d -c}}\\] (this is because if $\\displaystyle \\frac{a}{b}=c$ then $\\displaystyle \\frac{b}{a}=\\frac{1}{c}$ on turning the fraction round the other way)
and so \\[\\simplify{({a} * x + {b}) = {t} / {d -c}}\\] on multiplying both sides by {t}.
Hence \\[\\simplify{{a} * x = {t} / {d -c} -{b} = ({a * an1} / {an2})}\\]
and so \\[\\simplify{x={an1}/{an2}}\\] is the solution on dividing both sides by {a}.
